How much B6 for morning sickness?

[LaTrucha]

I've been taking 10mg but it's not doing anything. I've seen websites that say 100. HAve I got this badly wrong (hopeful emoticon)?

I took 50mgs. It helped my horrible pg acne too. Even now, I take some to stave off PM skin issues. Doc told me to go up to 100 if the 50 wasn't having much effect. I found I had to take it in the morning or I couldn't relax very well at night.

Thanks.

So you took it all at once? I have nausea all day and was also wondering about taking it through the day.

I took it in the morning. Never thought of taking it throughout the day -- I too had the nausea all day on and off, plus feeling really sluggish and 'down'. I chewed a lot of crystallised ginger too, and drank ginger and lemon tea, on the recommendation of a friend.

Thanks for the tip about the tea. I did try it before but it made me feel really ill!

It was hard to find anything that alleviated the nausea etc., for any length of time. Ginger helped a bit for me, but other friends suggested mint or chamomile teas and the effect seemed to be the reverse of what I had hoped for. Woke up one morning at about 4.5 months and it was all over, though.

Wow, I've never seen vitamin B6 discussed on a uK forum - I saw it mentioned on some in the states but my GP knew nothing about it.

Were you prescribed it? Maybe I'll consider another baby if it works!

My GP didn't prescribe it but I asked her to research it and she said to try it. The website she consulted I THINK said 10mg, but I may be misremembering because I haven't found any that says so little.

Twas a doctor in the US who told me to get some. No need for a prescription, just got it otc. I had resigned myself to the nausea, but the pregnancy acne was really bothering me. I looked like a pg 15 year old. The doctor said it might help both skin and nausea, and he was right.

It was my ex-pat Auntie who used to be a midwife who put me on to it. She worked in the States.

Thankyou...I think they have a combo of it and phenergan, called Unisom which loads of pg women take and say works.

I'll definitely try it if there is a next time.

They gave me a shot of phenergan when I got extremely nauseous during two deliveries and it worked immediately. Don't know the dosage.

It's promethazine isn't it I think. Good stuff

So, I guess I can go ahead with more?

I'd say go for it.

Thansk for your help. I've been looking and looking and I can't find anywhere that says 10mg so I think I'll go up to 50 and see how it goes.
